Top 8 Mistakes of New Buyers

Image
1 - Taking the time to review your budget to determine what you can afford will save you a ton of time in the long run.  Sure it is tedious and not the most fun, but if you don't know what you can afford, how do you expect to make good decisions when looking at what homes are available. 2 - Sure...you know someone that knows someone that got a home in perfect shape for 50% of the value because they bought a foreclosed home...right??  As much as a foreclosed home may provide some opportunity, it will also create some hurdles as well.  Such as condition, cost of repairs, and a lack of the bank to do very much to accommodate the buyers needs.  3 - Finding an experienced, knowledgeable, honest Realtor is very important when buying a home.  In most states, there is not charge to the buyer to use a buyer's agent.  Take your time and interview a few good agents that you find online or you have been referred to.  Here are a few good questions . 4 - Run the numbers!  Ha

Looking to hire a real estate agent to sell your home? Play 20 Questions. Ask these questions of real estate agents before you hire one. Compare as many agents as you need until you feel comfortable and confident with one. Do you work full or part-time as a real estate agent?
